Regular sequences for triangulated categories

Commutative Algebra 2025-09-15 v1 Category Theory

Abstract

This paper systematically develops a notion of regular sequences in the context of RR-linear triangulated categories for a graded-commutative ring RR. The notion has equivalent characterizations involving Koszul objects and local cohomology. The main examples are in the context of the Hochschild cohomology ring or the group cohomology ring acting on derived or stable categories. As applications, lengths of regular sequences provide lower bounds for level and Rouquier dimension.
